Love all that detail that George was known for in his covers. Fantastic addition to your collection. Congrats!
That is spectacular! Thanks for sharing this beauty, Bill!
Impressive! Perez doing what he does best.
As if "stunning" could ever be an understatement but it is here. Congrats on another gem in your collection Bill!
This is a sight to behold. We miss you George!
Congrats Bill. Great Perez showcase piece.
Lots to look at on this memorable cover! Great score Bill!
Great image. The crowd makes me think back to Neal Adams' superman vs. Ali. Congrats
Hard Light Shield!!!!
He just packed it all in. What an awesome cover!
Perez details and fanfare abound on this Marvelous cover! Wonderful addition!
Takes floating heads and kicks it up to 11.
I came here to say this.
Stunning indeed! What a fantastic example!
A fantastic Avengers cover by Perez. As prior owner, I'll certainly miss seeing this on my wall but thrilled it found it's way into your collection, congrats Bill!
Amazing details and layout by Perez. Stellar example!
I didn't always love later Avengers work by Perez, having such a fondness for his early work on the title. But this was a great cover. Congrats!
I live this cover my friend - congratulations !!!!!
Wow,This is a piece of work,so to speak,lol.Congrats on this one bill !
That's quite the iconic cover, with two (ex) new warriors as great bonus.
MONUMENTAL!! And so memorable!! A Perez MASTERPIECE! With an intricately detailed cover like this, with all the special nuances you mentioned and MORE, you MUST frame it and hang it on the wall. Cuz every time you look at it, you'll see something you previously missed. Congrats, Bill, you continue to amaze with your astounding additions.
I remember this one well. One of my favorites from his great run. Brilliantly designed in so many ways. The title logo on the banner, the faces on the balloons (and all the faces in the crowd as well), just the right spattering of buildings and trees in the background, a great shot of the story's villain, and of course the Big Three front and center. Not sure you could have found a better Avengers example. Congratulations sir!
Jealous!!! Love this cover.
Absolutely love it!
Soooooo well done! And a gorgeous piece of art!
This is one of my favourite covers of this Avengers run, Bill, congratulations on making such a wonderful acquisition! Pérez was still on top of his game at this point in his career and it is evident in each and every little bit of inked detail. This cover is even more meaningful to me now, and I hope to you as well, in that it feels like the image is now intended more as a celebration of Pérez's life and career than anything else!
Wow killer cover!
What a beutiful cover this page is. Huge Congratulations.
Is that George Perez in the bottom right corner with one of his famous Hawaiian shirts?
Wow. Thanks for leaving me everything in your will! I expect your avatars imaginary friend will turn feral anyday now. I mean he pounces on the little guy a lot, with claws out....Attacks by imaginary animals on imaginary boys do not result in real life death for the avatar holder? You didn't make that will?
Classic Pérez group shot with all of the detail and dynamism you would hope for. I prefer his DC work but there's no doubt that he embraced his return to Marvel in the 90s and gave it all he had on his extended Avengers run.
One of the best of this last Perez run of the Avengers! It shows that Perez really loves the fandom and wanted to represent the love he felt from fans by putting it on a cover.
Wow so much detail in this amazing cover. George Perez is a master at his craft. Absolutely love this; major congrats!
Stupendous Perez second run cover. I always liked Perez' take on the Grim Reaper and this is another great example, plus what great Avenger character inclusion. Enjoy!
I think the biggest knock again Perez was that he rarely drew more than one character on a cover and phoned it in on the backgrounds. ;) There has never been, nor will there ever be, someone like George. He put hours into his covers and interiors.
What a representative cover from Perez second Avengers run. I really like Busiek's writing and this busy cover is so typical Perez! Congrats!
Now what treasure does Bill J have in store for us today... BOOM. Epic cover!
A wonderful cover- congratulations!
What a great cover!!!
Wholesome!
I like "Let's Rap With Cap"! I would be thrilled to add this one to the collection as well. Congrats!!!
Classic stage scene! Love that Grim Reaper!
Wow, such a cool Pérez Avengers cover, with a great callback to the Grim Reaper issues back in the 70's, congrats!
Wow, this is an incredible cover!!!
As you sauf it is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Perez was a superb and high skilled artist. The level of detail of this cover is colossal. You only have to put the atention at the bottom left side. There is a guy in the crowd whose watch is the Cap's Shield!!!
Excellent!!!
Some serious eye candy. Congrats, Bill!
Perez did some great work on Avengers (even if I wasn't reading it then), and this is a great team shot here. Though he could've maybe tried to squeeze in a few more Avengers- he left some blank spaces here and there ;) Still, I dig all the little easter eggs he was able to fit into the background. "Face the Busiek" indeed. Congrats!
Incredible cover! Love all the details in this piece. Congrats on adding this to your collection.
Great Perez cover landed in a perfect collection !! Huge congrats!!
Ufff Bill , amazing Perez cover...the Grim Reaper (one of my favs) is superb and there are lot of little details all around ! Top one
Simply put, a PERFECT COVER. Congrats.
The hat pins, rings, and tattoos take the day.
Stunning bill
Great cover! Congrats
George Pérez is sorely missed- a modern master whose passion for comics shone through in his work, and a kind and friendly individual in person. From idea to execution, this cover is an exceptional example of the great man's work.
Museum opening in 2024?!? Great cover. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely Stunning is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Wow, this is a superior Perez example. I love how George drew with such intricate detail - what a great piece. Congrats!
A cover that shows Perez at the peak of his considerable powers! The Grim Reaper is so menacing and dynamic; the Avengers so heroic and dashing. Congratulations on a great cover!
There is nothing like the Grim Reaper when he is about to reap the Avengers. Incredible cover by the late master. That's a touchdown, congrats !
I remember seeing that cover for the first time and thinking "wow, what a fantastic addition this would be to an OA collection some day."
Well done, Sir!
So much fun that it takes time to grasp it all! Personally, I go for the Jarvis head (btw, the only major figure missing here, isn't it?), the "Face the Busiek and dance" half-hidden figure (is that him?) and the "Justice for all or just me" sign. But I'm sure there are tons of private jokes, hidden messages and real-life people standing on the ground that I have not picked up yet. It would almost deserve throwing a contest! But, for you, Bill, this cover spells endless joys! Congrats!
Fantastic cover!!!! Congrats Bill. 8 )
BEAUTIFUL!!
GREAT cover. Congrats!!
Fantastic Perez cover. George really knew how to lay it out and pack it with details. It seems so organic that you almost take the incredible detail for granted. It's not forced or shoved in your face. It's just how it should be including all the detail in the camera, the rings on the fingers and messages on the t-shirts. Then, looming over it all is the villain. Just a wonderful piece. Congrats Bill!
I love how you got the super hopeful happy inage of the team juxtaposed with the Reaper literally about to cut through that banner, which doubles as the title lettering, up top! I looked at this one closely, too...Perez went to town EVERYWHERE. No corner spared given the trademark cartoony and uber detailed treatment. Love all the clean lines on the team, and also takes me back to one of my favorite times reading comics. The Heroes Return series were all winners, with each creative team just knocking their runs out the park. Including this one :) Congrats!
Balloon head shots for the win!
A great cover with a ton to take in, wonder how long this took George, whatever it was it was clearly worth it! Big congrats on another excellent addition to the collection!
In just three plus days, you have generated over 67 comments. You know that you have a great posting when you have that many comments. I thought that you might have been the winning bidder for the Avengers 161 cover on the most recent HA Signature event, and I was looking forward to your hopefully winning that cover. That cover would have looked great in your collection and would have been a spectacular acquisition. Enough of that - this is a great Grim Reaper cover.
Beauty of a cover and possibly the best one of the entire run. Congrats!!
Another SUPERB add, Bill! Just...WOW. Everything you would want in a George Perez cover... and MORE. This, honestly, is my favorite era of his work, and I remember being completely floored at the time that he could maintain a monthly schedule turning out work like this (and it felt like there were a bunch of double-sized issues on a pretty regular basis, too)... There's no end to the exquisite detail here, but your eye never strays far from the assembled gaggle of heroes, brilliantly rendered in all their majesty... and when it does stray (to take in a balloon or t-shirt design: "A Jarvis Head (and proud of it!)", "Face The Busiek And Dance!"), it pops right back over to the Avengers, smiling, and exuding the strength and confidence we rely on to let us know we're alright: it's all going to be okay. Simply phenomenal work by an undisputed master, Bill. EPIC score: congrats!!
This is a stunner! Congrats on such a great Perez example : )
Woww what a parade of super heroes, big Cover, great Bill
Details abound in this glorious cover! Another fantastic addition, congrats!
One of the best covers on CAF. Just perfect. Congrats
stunning is an understatement. this is Nostalgia overload and Comic Art Legendary Greatness running on all cylinders. AMAZING!!!!
Is there any room for me to comment? lol. This is an epic piece!! Perez was so incredible - huge congrats!!
We salute Bill, who adds a wonderful piece of art. Thanks for sharing, and congrats
Stunning cover by the Great George Perez. Congrats
What a great cover!!!
These two issues where the best of the run. Congrats.
